Almost Done

As soon as livestream is added I believe my website will be done. It needs cosmetic touch ups and custom work after that.

    • Livestream is going to be awesome. 

      I'm still only waiting for access denied to be fixed. I launched my una site two different times and people constantly complained to me that they were "50 years old and I wanna see everything! I ain't no kid!". Then most of the people deleted their accounts and went back to my other site. So I need to wait. 

      • Most of the modules I need are on the market. The problem is that not all modules are compatible with each other. If UNA had a test site that had all modules on it so developers could see errors with other modules it would be great. Would also like to be able to tailor/tweak some modules. 

        • Think of live-streaming as of general media upload/publishing method - not a singular module or a feature. For example, in Videos and Albums modules live-streaming may be a generic one-to-many stream to followers which later gets saves into an album or a videos list. In Courses or Groups it can be more like a webinar and there may be another one which is more like a meeting or a lesson, which potential for multiple streamers. In Spaces it could be a continuous live-camera stream of a place for example, without a presenter. In Events it could represent a stage-like streaming of the event, or may just be incorporated as part of the Videos module. In Messenger live-streaming is 1-on-1 video call, or a small group meeting. In Conversations is can be a video-messages with live recording and ability to view while recording. 

          So, in other words - "just adding live streaming" to your site is open to interpretation. Think of what do you need exactly?

          • My idea for my site is to have a combined MySpace/Facebook/Patreon type of site. MySpace for its personalization of profile pages, Facebook for events/groups, and Patreon for people to be able to earn money doing what they love like throwing concerts, web shows, webinars on teaching subjects. So what you described is actually perfect for what I need. Server and usage of data for livestreams would be supported by taking a small percentage off as Credits are cashed in. Users being able to offer content for paid events or subscriptions for followers and the Point System for people who want to send points to their favorite music artists, content creators, or just people that go live. 

            • Yes, maybe add contest music, video and photography etc like in mine still working with how to Connect all that with the points/credits/subscription by the way what is needed is a good chart system that connect all points waiting for Modzzzz and AGB :)

              • until we find a good solution here for multistreaming, we developed such a strategy which is succesfull until now.

                We installed custom jitsi server(s) for event specific jitsi rooms up to 200 participants only the presenters and moderators videos are on, thats usually 1-4 videos. If there are more attendants we use multi rooms for the same conference. (with some important settings to jitsi now it can handle more users.)
                We send the main room to youtube as a live stream. (Through OBS studio or other online apps as we didnt install jibri yet and may be we will not need jibri.)
                The youtube stream is also taken in to the event page for the event members who doesnt want to join to the VC and also for the public (if the event is allowed for public audience).
                During this time of my research about multistreaming I learned that it is not an easy task. There needs to be the capability of multiple video streams based on the clients internet speeds like youtube does.
                If you want to make serious VC events with hundreds of participants you need (very) good hardware and network. And it is important to understand the difference of single video streams (zoom) and multiple video streaming protocols (jitsi: webrtc). I can share my experience about it too.

                (If needed you may make your video unlisted at youtube, in this case it will be seen in your events page, but not at youtube.)

                • Normally it is not the VC systems to handle hundreds of participants who never opens their camera or talks a word, they may watch it from youtube etc.
                  But people want to have the joining to an event and being present there feeling. Thats why it is being needed.

                  • That's a nice workaround. And yes, you're right - streaming to hundreds/thousands of participants is an entirely different challenge compared to video-calls or small meetings. In fact we've helped to build a solution for https://www.brainxchange.com/connectworx in collaboration with Google, Wowza and BrainXchange teams - which is great solution for large multi-stage conferences already used by very high-profile clients. The thing is that it's a high-cost solution, which requires a lot of resource allocation for servers, licenses and monitoring. I highly recommend it for enterprise-level events and the team operating it is amazing. I believe they price it from $5000 per event, which is a great value if you're at that level of scale. 

                    If, however, you're looking for a solution to start small, grow gradually and have continuous availability of streaming features at minimal cost, then we need to work out a more affordable and accessible solution.
